free to mail me or poke me on IRC, I would be interested to hear.

I recently added sfeed_mbox as a formatting program for this kind of
workflow (or to just use mutt as a UI :)). Ofcourse from mbox you can
do further processing. The README of sfeed describes how.

Btw the link on this page were outdated (my fault ofcourse) so I
updated it. A more recent version of sfeed is available at:
http://git.codemadness.org/sfeed/ . I am still working on it (but also
just using it daily).
